How to fix your garage door opener

• Looking for a handyman in Bend Oregon? Or
  handyman services in Redmond, OR? Believe it or
  not, most handymen in Central Oregon are wizards
  at garage door repair. But first, before you call
  us, lets see if you can fix it by yourself.
  Garage door openers are tricky and fixing them
  takes a little wit and muscle. Get a ladder and
  unplug the unit. This will save you from getting
  electrocuted or worse, lose a finger by messing
  around. Garage doors are heavy and if the spring
  is broke, you will have a harder time lifting it
  up.

• Hopefully, your garage door is closed while
  trouble shooting it. Pull the emergency release
  handle. If the door is closed, it shouldnt do
  anything but just release from the hook. If you
  can lift up the garage door with ease and pull it
  up and down, then the problem is not with the
  track, spring(s) or rollers. Now, if you pull the
  release handle while the garage door is in the
  lifted up position, the door can come crashing
  down so be careful. If that happens, the
  spring(s) is/are broke.

• Does the wall switch work but the remote doesnt?
  Then it is a battery issue, but if the remote
  works but the wall switch doesnt, then you will
  probably need to replace the wall switch
  (button). More than likely, you will not find a
  button to replace so in this case, you will have
  to get a universal adaptor and most likely it
  will be a remote. You can contact the
  manufacturer and they may be able to find you a
  replacement button.

• Does the door go up but only down when you hold
  the button? Usually that is an indicator of the
  sensors improperly balanced. Usually the sensors
  are the first issue. Someone or something knocked
  them loose so they dont point to each other.
  Turn them towards each other and try again. This
  usually fixes most garage door opener problems.
  Replacing them isnt easy, however. If one of the
  sensors is busted, you will need to contact the
  manufacturer for a replacement. There are
  replacement part companies but honestly, the odds
  of them having what you want is pretty slim.

  likely, you will be replacing the entire thing if
  you cannot fix anything above what we discussed.
